Hi Everybody,
Today we will have Paige Kulzer from the Loraine Lab at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte talking about the Integrated Genome
Browser (IGB) for sustainable genomic data accessibility and visualization.
Paige has kindly shared her slides for anyone interested in following her
talk (attached and also available for download as PDF from the AgBioData
website

Kind regards,
Marcela

*Title: *Toward Sustainable Genomic Data Accessibility and Visualization
with the Integrated Genome Browser
*Abstract: *Integrated Genome Browser (IGB, pronounced “ig-bee”) is a fast,
feature-rich, open-source desktop genome browser thousands of researchers
have used to explore and analyze genomic data. To make it as easy as
possible for researchers to load their data in IGB, we provide built-in
genome assemblies and annotations for model and non-model organisms. We
obtained many of these from sources familiar to AgBioData members,
including TAIR, Sol Genomics Network, and MaizeGDB. Other database and
genome browser developers do similar work to disseminate genomic data to
researchers, and some offer robust programmatic access to their data via
APIs (application programmer interfaces). By accessing these computational
resources, IGB can show new assemblies without our team needing to
replicate assembly data files to our own servers. In this webinar, we’ll
discuss IGB’s latest integrations with genome data providers and AgBioData
members. We’re also excited to highlight the ongoing work of doctoral
student Karthik Raveendran in our lab who is developing innovative methods
for visualizing single-cell RNA-Seq data in the Integrated Genome Browser
and how this new capability helps biologists understand, evaluate, and
analyze these data better. Altogether, these integrations address one of
the most important problems in data visualization in bioinformatics:
Developing sustainable ways to make the vast wealth of genome-centric
experimental data available to the community.
